I found a build tread on dumontdunes that the car ran 13.00x15 sand quirts, but we don't know the original bolt pattern.
If he can find the bolt pattern, he found a place in Temecula that can make a 4 or wide 5 VW adapter to go to 15" wheels.
Car has 26" paddles on 12" wheels on it now.

Do you remember the lug pattern for your 15" wheels?
Above pic has a pole blocking the view of rear wheel.

Found some more pics. From what I see it looks like a VW 4bolt pattern.

This must have been what Larry used as I bought this as a tacked kit from him. It included axles, cv's, hubs, and arms. They are fun cars and really surprising how well the air shocks worked.
